Whether a seasoned opera-goer or a newcomer to the genre, Longhope Opera is a delightful way to spend a summer's day. Guests are invited to take walks around the grounds, enjoy the various outdoor chamber recitals and attend a drinks reception before taking their seats for the main event. After the first act, there is a long dining interval where guests can enjoy a unique catered dinners or their own picnic hampers while overlooking the rolling hills of the South Downs as the sun sets.
A truly hidden gem in the UK's cultural landscape, this fledgling opera festival is worth clearing your schedule for.
